Recursive fitness

Question

hi!
I am trying to rebuild my script to make a recursive fitness of textframes. With a deep nested set of anchored objects (inline and custom position)
All works well,but when i in my loop tries to first change the current textframe and directly after that change my parent I get an errror msg saying "invalid object for this request".
I have figured out by stepping with the debugger that when i try to change one textframe twice i breaks (because a textframe can be a parent of many textframes). i think it can have something to do with "allowOverrides" set to false.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi!
If the anchored object is custom and you check in the "keep whitin top/bottom bounderies" box. The fit frame to content will make room for the box, but if you have to objects anchored in the same textbox, one of them inline and one of them custom, the inline object has overflow and the other not. And you make fit frame to content on that frame it will lay itself over the other anchored frame.
So I allways uncheck this box.
The only way I have found to solv this is by calculating the coordinates of the parent textframe so that it resize itself accoring to the custom child object.
But then you have to loop to all textframes so that you keep track of witch textframe is a parent and witch textframe is a child and compare there lowest points.
Is there any other way of doing this in a better way? Or could I implement the "compare" function in your example some how?
            var txtframebottom = frame.paragraphs.item(i).textFrames.item(j).geometricBounds[2];
            var parentframebottom = frame.geometricBounds[2];   
            if(parentframebottom < txtframebottom){
                var parentframetop = frame.geometricBounds[0];   
                var parentframeright = frame.geometricBounds[3];   
                var parentframeleft = frame.geometricBounds[1];   
                var oldheight = parentframebottom - parentframetop;       
                var newheight = oldheight + txtframebottom - parentframebottom;
                var heightprocent = 100*(newheight/oldheight);   
                frame.geometricBounds = [0, parentframeleft, newheight, parentframeright];
